Figure 7. Th1/Th2 cytokine profiles of immunized hamsters at different time intervals pre- and post-infection by quantitative real-time–PCR.

Figure 7

Fold change in mRNA expression profiles of A, IFN-γ; B, IL-12; C, TNF-α; D, IL-4; E, TGF-β; F, IL-2; G, IL-10. Each gene was normalized to the housekeeping gene (Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase, HGPRT) to avoid variations between different samples. Results are expressed as the mean ± S.E. of five hamsters individually assayed from each group. *, p<0.05; **, p<0.01;***, p<0.001 assessed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's multiple comparison tests.
